Online previews of your scanned photos

As part of our service, we will load your photos to our site so that you can preview the scans being done for you. This is a change from our emails with sample scans attached to them. By providing on-line viewing of your images, we eliminate emails with large attachments and are able to provide you views of more images than via email. These scans can be previewed by your, your family or anyone else you share the link with. For a sample, Click her to view Sample Preview Site and you will see a sample preview.

Bonus Contact Proof Sheets Included with each order

Included with each order, you will receive a set of contact proof sheets for your order (max 10 hard copies). Typically these proof sheets will be grouped per group of slides (carousel, box, etc.). The images will have the file names for the corresponding scans, thus giving you an easy way to compare/match your scanned images to the original slides. You will receive PDF files of all the contact proof sheets.

Use the Contact Sheet to find images

See a scanned image and want to get the original? You no longer have to hunt and guess which box of slides the original is in. Just look at the contact sheet, see the box (group) number and image number and then go to the corresponding box. Typically the slides will be in the same sequence -- at least when sent back to you. Now that is a much easier way to find the original image!

Hard Copies and PDF files

The contact proof sheets will be provided to you as hard copies printed on photo paper (max 10 hard copies) and as PDF files on your data disk. This will allow you to print additional copied when you want to.

DVD Slide Shows

We provide high quality images that can be used if you wish to create DVD slide shows of your newly scanned images. You will need a software package that allows you to create DVD Slide Shows. Be aware that many packages exist on the market. Many package will reformat the images and reduce the overall quality of the image. In addition to seeing the normal quality degradation you will have if viewing on a TV (unless you create a HD Slide Show), these low end programs will decrease the overall viewing quality. The sample/demo software in the included bonus software we include with your slide conversions will typically retain the original image quality. When you create a DVD Slide Show, all you will need to do is insert the DVD in the PC DVD player and the Slide Show will begin automatically display. On your PC this is only true if you have your PC DVD player to self start when you insert a DVD.

When you insert your DVD slide show in your TV DVD player, the slide show will begin automatically, allowing you to select which chapter you wish to start with.

Note: Image DVD's are data disk and can only be viewed on your PC. The disk you receive will ONLY work on a PC and not a TV DVD player. You must create a DVD slide show to display the images on your TV DVD player.

New HDTV and Blue Ray DVD Players will in many cases play Data DVD disk - whereas old DVD players would not read data DVD disk. What does this mean for you? Just as you can now view your images on your computer with a data DVD disk full of images, you can now (in most cases) play your data DVD disk in your Blue Ray disk player and what your slides on your TV. Your HDTV will normally have a menu allowing you to view JPG (and other format) images on your TV via a USB flash card. Likewise, your Blue Ray DVD player will have a menu providing various options for viewing images from your data DVD disk (you may have image size restrictions). Some units will even play music to your "slide show".

Apple TV - just like a will allow you to download images from your computer to the unit, and then will play the images your TV for you - to include music along with the slide show. It by far provides the most extensive capability for viewing images from your computer on your TV/
